Organic sales growth of 15.7% in first-half 2020:

  • €1,476 million in sales
  • Up 15.8% as reported

As expected, a mixed sales performance, with faster momentum in molecular biology solutions contrasting with a slowdown in microbiology, immunoassays and industrial applications

Robust growth in contributive operating income before non-recurring items, to €253 million, or 17.1% of sales

Alexandre Mérieux, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said: “In today’s unprecedented health crisis, bioMérieux’s positioning as a specialist in infectious disease diagnostics takes on all of its meaning and allowed to rapidly provide high-performance solutions for diagnosing COVID-19. Despite the pandemic’s negative impact on certain product lines and taking into account health and economic conditions, bioMérieux is expected to deliver a remarkable performance this year. However, this performance is not projectable beyond 2020.”

SALES

NB: Unless otherwise stated, sales growth is expressed at constant exchange rates and scope of consolidation (like-for-like).

Consolidated sales amounted to €1,476 million in the first half of 2020, up 15.7% like-for-like from €1,275 million in the year-earlier period. Reported growth stood at 15.8% for the period. There was little or no impact from exchange rate movements, as the decline in emerging market currencies against the euro canceled out the increase in the US dollar.

Clinical application sales, which accounted for approximately 85% of bioMérieux’s consolidated total, rose by 14% year-on-year to €602 million in the second quarter of 2020, and by nearly 19% to €1,257 million over the first half.

  • In molecular biology, the BIOFIRE® FILMARRAY® product line reported remarkable growth in the second quarter, led by sales of the new version of the respiratory panel with SARS-CoV-2. Including BioFire Defense sales recognized in “Other lines”, molecular biology sales rose by around 80% over the period. The BIOFIRE® installed base continued to expand, to more than 14,000 units at June 30, 2020, versus 10,400 at December 31, 2019. The extraction and ARGENE® lines also made a significant contribution to molecular biology sales growth, reflecting their complementarity with the syndromic approach.
  • The microbiology business was impacted by the slowdown in reagent sales across all product lines due to the decline in hospital visits, while equipment sales rose steeply during the quarter.
  • Sales of the immunoassay line also slowed in the wake of lockdown measures and the decline in hospital use.

Industrial application sales, which represent around 15% of the consolidated total, decreased by 5% year-on-year to €106 million in the second quarter. While business with customers in the pharmaceutical industry continued to trend upwards, the agri-foods market contracted over the period, dragged down by the impact of the health crisis.

■ Sales in the Americas (52% of the consolidated total) rose by 28% year-on-year to €365 million in the second quarter and by 30% to €762 million in the first half.

  • In North America (46% of the consolidated total), quarterly growth was primarily led by strong demand for the BIOFIRE® FILMARRAY® molecular biology product line.
  • In Latin America, every country except Brazil and Colombia reported robust growth in second-quarter sales, supported by the deployment of molecular biology solutions.

■ Sales in the Europe – Middle East – Africa region (32% of the consolidated total) came to €225 million for the second quarter, down 1.7% year-on-year. Sales for the first six months were up 4% from the previous year, at €473 million.

  • In Europe (27% of the consolidated total), solid growth in the United Kingdom and Scandinavia failed to offset the slowdown in the Benelux countries, Poland and Switzerland.
  • The situation remained contrasted in the Russia – Middle East – Africa region, where vibrant growth in Russia, Egypt and the Middle East in the second quarter was somewhat offset by a transient decline of sales in Africa.

■ In the Asia-Pacific region (16% of the consolidated total), sales came to €118 million in the second quarter, representing a year-on-year decline of around 6%. The robust sales performance in Japan and Australia was more than offset by the slowdown in China, where lower exposure to the molecular biology lines meant that they were unable to make up for the slowdown in sales of the other lines.

CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT

Gross profit

Gross profit for the first six months of the year came to €816 million or 55.3% of sales, down slightly from 55.7% in the prior-year period. The erosion in gross margin primarily reflected the adverse currency effect and the impact of phantom stock option plans (PSOPs) in the United States. Excluding these two factors, gross margin was unchanged for the period, despite the higher proportion of instruments sales in the first-half mix.

Contributive operating income before non-recurring items

Contributive operating income before non-recurring items came to €253 million for first-half 2020, a year‑on‑year gain of 28%. Contributive operating income before non-recurring items as a percentage of sales was 17.1% as reported. An expense of €42 million was booked in the first half in respect of the PSOP bonus plans in the United States that are indexed to the bioMérieux share price, compared to an expense of €26 million in first-half 2019. bioMérieux also recognized a €4 million expense on the settlement of its obligations under a defined benefit pension plan for bioMérieux Inc. employees in the United States. The currency effects reduced reported contributive operating income before non-recurring items by €7 million.

  • Selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to €382 million, or 25.9% of sales, compared with 27.8% in first‑half 2019. The improvement was primarily attributable to the decline in selling expenses (conventions and business travels) as a result of lockdown measures.
  • R&D expenses came to €203 million, or 13.8% of sales, compared with €179 million and 14% in first‑half 2019. The increase in outlays reflected both the programs undertaken to develop new SARS‑CoV‑2 diagnostics and the ongoing commitment to driving innovation across every product line.
  • Other operating income stood at around €22 million for the period, unchanged year-on-year.

Operating income

Depreciation and amortization charged against assets revalued at BioFire’s date of acquisition amounted to €9 million in first-half 2020, unchanged from first-half 2019. In June 2020, the Board of Directors also decided exceptionally to reduce the dividend by €22 million and to allocate these funds to supporting initiatives in the public interest. Of these funds, €12 million has already been recognized in other non‑recurring expenses from operations in first-half 2020.

As a result, consolidated operating income came to €232 million in the first half, representing a 23% increase on the €189 million reported for the first two quarters of 2019.

Net income of consolidated companies

Net financial expense amounted to €12 million over the period, down slightly from €14 million in first-half 2019.

The Group's effective tax rate for the first half of 2020 stood at 21.7%, versus 20.8% in first-half 2019, which benefited from the preferential tax rate applied to intellectual property under the new Foreign‑Derived Intangible Income (FDII) deduction in the United States.

Net attributable income amounted to €173 million for the first half of 2020, up 23% from €141 million one year earlier.

CASH MANAGEMENT AND FINANCE

Free cash flow

EBITDA1 came to €345 million in first-half 2020, or 23.4% of sales, up 22% from the €283 million reported for the same period one year earlier. The increase reflects growth in contributive operating income before non-recurring items and net additions to depreciation and amortization of operating items and operating provisions.

Income tax paid represented €60 million, an increase from the €51 million paid in first-half 2019, in line with activity.

Working capital requirement rose by €22 million in the first six months of 2020, primarily as a result of the following factors:

  • inventories rose by €55 million during the period, mainly due to slower sales of the microbiology and immunoassay lines;
  • trade receivables decreased slightly, thanks to the growth in business in the United States;
  • trade payables declined by €10 million, in line with the reduction in average days sales outstanding;
  • other working capital requirement items improved by €37 million, led by the increase in accrued taxes and payroll liabilities (particularly the provision on the PSOP bonus plans indexed to the bioMérieux share price).

Capital expenditure outlays represented around 8.6% of sales or €127 million in first-half 2020, versus €123 million in first-half 2019.

In light of the above, free cash flow came in at €144 million in first-half 2020, compared to €55 million one year earlier.

Change in net debt

Purchases of non-current financial assets, net of disposals, amounted to €9 million, versus €72 million in first-half 2019. bioMérieux also bought back its own shares in an amount of around €2 million.

A dividend of €22 million will be paid in the second half of the year instead of in the first half as was the case in 2019.

As a result, consolidated net debt came to €192 million at June 30, 2020, versus €317 million at December 31, 2019.

FULL-YEAR OUTLOOK

In light of the uncertainties linked to the current health crisis, bioMérieux has deemed it preferable not to issue any new annual guidance as of the date of release of its interim results. Nevertheless, based on the robust first-half performance and the nature of bioMérieux’s business, the favorable impact on financial results is expected to continue in the second half.

GOVERNANCE

The Board of Directors has decided to rename its Human Resources, Appointments and Remuneration Committee to Human Resources and CSR Committee. Thus, the Committee, in addition to its historical missions, will be in charge of ensuring that the Company takes CSR topics into account, and their integration into its strategy.

___________________________

1 EBITDA corresponds to the aggregate of contributive operating income before non-recurring items, and operating depreciation and amortization.
